    I'd pre-ordered one just to play the remastered Demon's Souls - probably a bit daft, but I figure I can sell it on and get most of the value back before Christmas if needed.

    Nope, I don't think I've ever bothered with pre-order on anything... and to be honest I'd normally wait a short while before buying too just to ensure all the 'bugs' are worked out first.

    That, pretty much.

    Years ago, when I had a need for something brand spanking new, I was lucky enough to usually be able to lay hands on one (like I did several times with processors, for instance), but these days I don't really have the contacts and certainly no the need.

    As for games consoles, I might, maybe, perhaps. Eventually. But pre-order? Pay that premium? Not a prayer.

    Re: QOTW: Did you pre-order an Xbox Series S/X or PlayStation 5?

    I wanted to pre-order the PS5 but being unemployed at the time made the decision for me. I've got myself employment lined up now, so I'll probably be looking to pick one up in the new year.

    Gran Turismo 7 and Ratchet & Clank are the titles that attract me, as well as the 4K Blu Ray player, so we can sell the Xbox One S (used only for 4K Blu Ray) and the PS4 Pro to help fund the upgrade.

    Never had any issues with consoles and they have priced it quite keenly so I think the price will stay the same for a while.

    I've never bought a console, and can't see myself ever having a use for one.

    Even if I did decide to trade my PC in for a console, I'd still follow the tenets of House Biscuit, "We Do Not Pre-Order"

    You may bd right, but personally, I'm not interested in the online-only variants, and if the prices for the full fat versions are 'keen' and don't change much over time, then I simply won't do it at all.

    Nabbed a XSX on the Klarna gig from Game.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    not preordering any console. gonna wait and see what they are like in stores and read many reviews.
    the Xbox has a slight advantage with there pass, if it ever gets to my country to.

    Re: QOTW: Did you pre-order an Xbox Series S/X or PlayStation 5?

    One of my friends ordered the xbox and my brother i think ordered a PS5.

    Myself, i'm not much of a console gamer so none for me.

    Though i might wait a few months and see how cheap used PS4s get and grab one of those

    Pfffft, hell no. I got my RTX 3090 2 days ago and have zero interest in console gaming.
